Has anyone used this kit. Also will this raise my rear seat hieght. I am looking to put his on my sdg speed mini because I feel like I need more travel on the trail.

That bike has the adapter kit. Wow I can barley tell if it does. I guess I know what my next purchase will be.



Will it give me a "Lift" in the rearend?

I like how low my sdg sits, I don't want it to ride higher. I just want more down travel.

YinChow,

I am doing the same mod, my swingarm is right against the brake clevis. Did you have this same problem? It seems like my shock is forcing the swingarm farther down than yours.


Does your bike seem to sit a lot higher in the back than stock? Have you got a chance to ride it?

Did it seem to raise the seat height a lot? I have a bike that I am selling that has a high seat height and I just don't like jumping it.





Did you notice a lot of difference from stock to this kit?





Lastly, what bike did you install it on?

I just ordered one also from Staggs for my PP125X. I'll post on here when I get 'er put on. I'm using a FastAce shock with my kit. Looks sweet bkeyes!


I am just woried that it will raise my seat and center of gravity to high.

did you buy the kit for imports or crf's? Because on staggs old site, he had two different kits. It didn't look like everything went together too smoothly.



EDIT: what is the length eye to eye of the romic versus the Fast ace?

I got the kit for imports. The Romic shock is 9.5" long and the FastAce was 11". You need a short shock for the kit to work. There was other modding I did aside from the photos I took while putting this on for example: bending the rear master cylinder mounting bracket inward to get the operating rod straight up and down and not rub on the swingarm. Just alot of small details to make it all work in conjunction with each other.
